LONDON — Britain's royal family has extended its kingdom further into cyberspace and joined Twitter _ but don't expect Her Majesty to tweet.

Buckingham Palace, which already has a significant online presence, said Friday that it has set up a Twitter account to alert royal watchers to what's happening with the family.

But that won't result in any re-tweets or trending topics from Queen Elizabeth II or Prince Charles. A palace spokeswoman says the account won't be used to air personal opinions.

The queen launched Buckingham Palace's Web site in 1997. She also has her own YouTube channel.

You caught that, too? It was the "we pwn, you pay" that tipped it off for me.

Huff Post: the link is wrong on the "around the web" list.

Interesting thing to note about the Queen of UK, she is the world's largest landowner, owning one sixth of all the land in the world, worth about $17 Trillion dollars and the UK Taxpayers pay the royal family $41.5 Million Dollars a year. In spite of the Depression, the Queen has asked for a raise.

Um, I hate to break it to you, that "worlds largest landowner" claim is quite false, unless you count "Canada" and "India" as "owned."
